This course is a combined theoretical and hands-on workshop in endodontics focused on the clinical use of modern biosilicate materials — MTA and Well-Root PT. It covers diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for managing perforations and teeth with an open apex, how to choose the right material for each clinical scenario, and key techniques for working under the microscope. This training is timely because the use of biosilicate/bioceramic materials is rapidly increasing and mastering their clinical application is essential for predictable, long‑term outcomes.
Who should attend: general dentists, endodontists, endodontic residents and clinicians who perform endodontic procedures and want to improve their management of complex cases. The course is best suited to practitioners with basic endodontic experience seeking intermediate to advanced practical skills.
What participants can expect and why it’s valuable: you will study real clinical cases illustrated with high‑quality photos and video, then apply techniques in a hands‑on setting using 3D‑printed teeth that simulate common clinical challenges. Key benefits include improved decision-making, practical skills with biosilicate cements, and tips to avoid common errors.
- Hands-on practice on 3D‑printed teeth representing: a central incisor with a wide apical opening; a molar with a furcation perforation and furcal lesion; and a molar with a lateral root perforation.
- Practical competencies: material selection and treatment planning; preparation of the operative field for obturation with biosilicate cements; application and adaptation of MTA and Well-Root PT; matrix technique using a resorbable barrier; assessment of fill quality; and targeted advice to prevent common mistakes.
The course is led by experienced endodontic clinicians and uses real case documentation (photos and videos) to demonstrate reproducible strategies for predictable results.
